Sivanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School

Down in Kundrathur, we have been running Sivanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School for quite a while now. Chennai is a very big city, but out here in the 600069 area, it feels more like a small community. The school building is pretty straightforward and has been through a lot of rainy seasons. We have the older students in the higher secondary sections and the younger ones in the primary classes. Every morning starts with the same sounds of students chatting and dragging their chairs. We don't have any of those fancy modern glass buildings you see in the city center. It is just brick and concrete that has seen many groups of students pass through over time. The teachers here mostly focus on getting through the day's work without too much fuss. We have a lot of stairs to climb and the halls are usually full of posters that the kids made for their projects. Sometimes the ceiling fans are a bit noisy, but we are all used to it by now. Being in Kundrathur means we get a mix of people from different parts of the local area. It is not a place for showing off or being fancy. We just do the work of teaching and then everyone goes home to their families at the end of the day. The ground gets a bit muddy when the monsoon rains come, which the kids like more than the staff does. It is just a local school where we keep things moving along.
